Tha final ncervo in tho tree-tops is wondrously beautiful, and a fitting conclusion to a pretty atory. THEATRE ROYAL. Saturday night wan the last night of an excellent programme) at Fuller's Theatre. All the. act* wero groatly apprtvinted, and perhaps none more *o than Charles Kanimr'* turn. To-night Lew Frere* C rot tons will re-appear. The two brother* provide a unique entertainment, and the absence of nil apparatus makes their act a novel one. Parker, a handcuff king, makes his first appearance tonight.
